Starwing Paradox (星と翼のパラドクス, Hoshi to Tsubasa no Paradokusu) is an arcade game by Square Enix with animation produced by Sunrise.

In it, humans from Earth remotely pilot giant humanoid mechs as part of a conflict between aliens of two countries on the planet Maguriboshi over the energy resource Hoshinochi.

Prior to each game, players can customize their mechs with an assortment of weapons and head/body/limb models to suit their play style and role within the team.

In August 2019, tournaments scheduled for the game were cancelled after Square Enix received death threats related to Sadamoto's criticism of a sculpture depicting World War II comfort women.
